The area around what was once Turner Field is looking a little different these days. Georgia State University took over the former Braves stadium in southeast Atlanta last year. Now development has begun to transform the neighborhood around the new home of the GSU Panthers football team.

So far, four new tenants have moved into the once-vacant buildings along Georgia Avenue in the Summerhill District, including a brewery and rooftop bar.

Georgia State University bought Turner Field and in the last couple weeks development has sprung up. Right next to the stadium, they broke ground for a 700-bed student dormitory. On Georgia Avenue, opening soon a new BBQ restaurant, ice cream shop and bakery are opening soon.

David Nelson is the senior vice president of Carter, the development company. He says not only will this area have new amenities, they hope to bring jobs to the area.

“They want to hire local and they want to give opportunities to kids and people in the neighborhood, so they can be a part of this as well,” Nelson said.
